Find Your Wings

Dear Eva,

This week has been a difficult one for you (and believe it or not, for Mommy, too!) Although you have ended each day well, every morning you have been very fearful and tearful as you head off to school. Yet, I am so proud of you and believe that God has wonderful things in store for you this year. Growing up isn't always easy, and you have had to deal with many transitions and changes in recent months. But you are stronger and braver than you think ... and more importantly, Jesus is always with you to give you strength when you are afraid. Someone shared the lyrics to this song with me and they spoke to my heart. So today I want to dedicate it to you, my precious daughter, as God helps you each day to "Find Your Wings!"

Love, Mommy

It's only for a moment you are mine to hold
The plans that heaven has for you
Will all too soon unfold
So many different prayers I'll pray
For all that you might do
But most of all I'll want to know
You're walking in the truth
And If I never told you
I want you to know
As I watch you grow


Chorus:
I pray that God would fill your heart with dreams
And that faith gives you the courage
To dare to do great things
I'm here for you whatever this life brings
So let my love give you roots
And help you find your wings


May passion be the wind
That leads you through your days
And may conviction keep you strong
Guide you on your way
May there be many moments
That make your life so sweet
Oh, but more than memories


Chorus:

It's not living if you don't reach for the sky
I'll have tears as you take off
But I'll cheer as you fly


Chorus:
